Amazing fieldwork with National Trust at Tattiscombe and river Heddon restoration in North Devon representing our WiRe (wood in river restoration) project with @alanputtock.bsky.social. The geomorphic changes by installing large wood are mesmerising. As a treat, we saw the stunning Heddon’s Mouth

A return to a peatland restoration site I used to work at yesterday. Looking forward to a new peatland PhD project looking at the role they can play in natural flood management in SW England!

Flying up through the National Trust Holnicote Stage 0 river restoration site last week. Fantastic to see how much water is being held in the reconnected floodplain despite the recent drought conditions!

A landmark moment for beavers in England! 🚨 To unlock their benefits, we now need widespread population expansion - it’s time to normalise this native species. We’re reviewing today’s announcement against key tests we set out in our initial response earlier today 👇 t.co/dHU4806zrM

Drone surveys from #beaver wetlands in England. At both sites beavers have created wetland habitat and reduced stormflow. However, one site is in the middle of a city and the other a forest, illustrating the breadth of landscapes where we can seek to implement nature-recovery and provide #NbS.
